UPDATED: Crown Prince: Saudi Women Not Necessarily Required To Wear Abayas

Full-length robes are symbolic of religious faith  for centuries among Arab countries and Muslim faith. Now, as the kingdom moves toward modernization, it is going to begin new changes.  Sheikh Abdullah Al-Mutlaq, a member of the Council of Senior Scholars, over his radio show named Friday Studio aired on Neda Al-Islam radio station on Friday Feb. 9, said Muslim women should dress modestly, but this did not necessitate wearing the abaya.

Only the government-appointed clerics associated with the Council of Senior Scholars are allowed to issue fatwas, or Islamic legal opinions. Their interpretations of Islamic law form the basis of Saudi Arabia’s legal system. Saudi women have started wearing more colorful abayas in recent years, the light blues and pinks in stark contrast with the traditional black. Open abayas over long skirts or jeans are also becoming more common in some parts of the country. Sponsored Links  The trend marks a major change in the last couple of years. In 2016, a Saudi woman was detained for removing her abaya on a main street in the capital of Riyadh. Local media reported that she was detained after a complaint was filed with the religious police. The Kingdom has seen an expansion in women’s rights recently, such as the decision passed to allow women to attend mixed public sporting events and the announcement that Saudi Arabia would grant them the right to drive. These are some of the many changes the country has undergone in recent months, hailed as proof of a new progressive trend in the deeply conservative Muslim Kingdom. But despite these changes, the gender-segregated nation is criticized for its continued constraints on women.

According to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, wearing of abaya is not necessary as long as they wear modest and respectful clothing as stated in the Sharia law.

In recent years Saudi woman could face detention only by taking off her abaya in public.
